Pros

Still have open PTO, for now. Ability to have remote or hybrid options, for now.

Cons

The company is shifting to a global focus and leaving many of our Clearwater based employees behind. The focus in the US is shifting to Arlington and NYC whose employee count is very low. Millions of dollars is being spent on the offices because that is where the CEO wants to be. The rest of the offices are given crumbs. It’s gross how much butt kissing is done to these employees who are rude and demanding. We had an amazing culture that is being rewritten and removed. KB4 is a shell of what it used to be. These changes are all being done so the company can be sold again and a few select people make money. Screw everyone else that has put blood sweat and tears into making something great. KB4 sold out for a VC company and a CEO who literally doesn’t care.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
